Special Characters
When you program Personal Directory listings, you are storing a sequence of numbers to be dialed
automatically. Some dialing sequences need special characters. For example, you press the
Hold
button to insert a pause (p) after the dial-out code in a dialing sequence. This way, the system is
allowed to seize an outside line before dialing the number. A pause can also be used to separate a
phone number from an extension number.
The following table describes special characters. Ask your system manager which special characters are
needed and when to use them.
